µ-Nitrido Bridged Diiron Phthalocyanines: Old Complexes for New Catalytic Applications

Syntheses and electronic structures of μ-nitrido bridged pyridine, diimine iridium complexes.

The syntheses and X-ray crystal structures of dinuclear μ-azido and μ-nitrido bridged iridium complexes bearing the pyridine, diimine ligand (PDI) are reported. Their electronic structures and formal oxidation states of the metal centers are analyzed by theoretical and experimental methods, revealing the non-innocence of the PDI and nitrido ligands.

Triptycene-based Bis(benzimidazole) Carboxylate-Bridged Biomimetic Diiron(II) Complexes.

A triptycene-based bis(benzimidazole) ester ligand, L3, was designed to enhance the electron donating ability of the heterocyclic nitrogen atoms relative to those of the first generation bis(benzoxazole) analogs, L1 and L2. A convergent synthesis of L3 was designed and executed. Three-component titration experiments using UV-visible spectroscopy revealed that the desired diiron(II) complex coul...

Reactions of Diiron μ-Aminocarbyne Complexes Containing Nitrile Ligands

Unusual peroxo intermediates in the reaction of dioxygen with carboxylate-bridged diiron(II,II) paddlewheel complexes.

nitrido complexes of ruthenium and osmium

Ru=O complexes have been demonstrated to be competent oxidants for oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons and epoxidat ion of alkenes . Photoexcitation of transdioxoosmium(V1) gives rise to super-oxidizing complexes having EO >2.2 V vs. n.h.e.. Some cationic RuZN and OsZN complexes are good model system for study of the mechanism of metalcatalysed oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and activation of ...
